Olivia Colman: “I’ve always described myself to my husband as a gay man.” 🙄

Olivia Colman is currently on the press tour for her new film Jimpa and has come out with some absolute corkers in an interview with them "magazine" including:

"Throughout my whole life, I’ve had arguments with people where I've always felt sort of nonbinary. Don’t make that a big sort of title! But I’ve never felt massively feminine in my being female. I’ve always described myself to my husband as a gay man. And he goes, “Yeah, I get that.”"

Which I can only assume means he likes it when she pegs him.

And a dig at some undefined group of naysayers and haters and meanies:

"Most of the actors were from, particularly in the Dutch side of things, from the queer community there; I’ve never been part of a more welcoming group of people. For all those naysayers or haters or meanies, if [only] they could spend the time with the most welcoming, kind bunch of people. I kind of want everyone to just come and say hi and actually feel total love."

Jimpa stars Olivia Colman as Hannah, mother to the non-binary Frances (played by they/them, non-binary, queer, transgender daughter of the film's director, Aud Mason-Hyde) who go to Amsterdam to visit Hannah's gay HIV positive father (John Lithgow, currently simultaneously scorned by the queers for daring to be in the new Harry Potter series, any by the meanies for talking shit about JKR). I'm sure it will be a hoot.

Congratulations Olivia on your brave coming out as a queer, non-binary, gay man, spicy-straight woman. You're so late to the party all the cool kids will find your identity embarrassing now.

I'm old enough to remember when coming out to relatives and friends was a risk, and queer bashing was a risk, and so is she. This is just insulting to gay men imo.

I rolled my eyes so hard I may have self-inflicted bilateral retrobulbar hematomas.

Make it make sense

ProfessorRedshoeblueshoe · 06/02/2026 23:34

She is fucking tedious.

Pleasantsort2 · 06/02/2026 23:35

This.🤣

Fizbosshoes · 06/02/2026 23:36

Is this a long winded way to explain she prefers her hair short?

Thoseslippers · 06/02/2026 23:37

I love her work and its up to her how she feels

NeverDropYourMooncup · 06/02/2026 23:39

I suppose for the money they get, spouting any old shit that the director wants them to say is worth it.

I love her work.

Of course is up to her how she feels.

Bleating on about being a bit non binary because she's way more cool than the rest of us old meanies, on the other hand is not cool. She's having a pop at everyone who doesn't agree. And being offensive to gay men.

Not cool.

Edited to add: she's latching into that awful trope of disagreement being 'unkindness' or 'mean' or 'bullying'. I thought she had more sense.

SirChenjins · 06/02/2026 23:43

She's old enough to remember that back in the 80s when many of us had short hair and wore clothes that made us look like we were in the Workers Revolutionary Party, that look was just so mainstream it didn't need a name. Wise up Olivia, you're not a gay bloke ffs - you're a middle aged woman, and as you well know we come in all different shapes, sizes and colours. You don't become a gay bloke because you have short hair, you idiot.

Steve Buscemi did it better.

What fresh hell is this?

I miss Spitting Image.

Insufferable.

MakeYourOwnSunshine · 06/02/2026 23:52

Ah, I needed a laugh. Thanks Olivia!

Mistyglade · 06/02/2026 23:55

Good grief she tries hard.

Funnywonder · 06/02/2026 23:56

Oh dear. Sometimes I’d just rather not know what goes on inside the real life brains of actors I love (see also Kathy Burke.)

So much potential material nowadays.
